Why I Write A Blog (In A Thousand Words Or Less)

I told one of my girlfriends that my daughter writes a blog. She asked the same thing that I did when I heard that word for the first time. "What's a blog?" So I told her that it is, basically, an online diary. She keeps a daily diary, she says, but it isn't something she could image doing for just anyone to see. I get that, I felt the same way at first. I worried a bit about my daughter. Worried about who might read her, worried about what she might say, worried that she might use swear words. And then, in true fashion, jumped into the deep end of the pool with her. I do everything she does. I am like the chick who stalked her roommate in Single White Female. I do it, not to annoy her, but because I think that she is the coolest person I know. It was her who I ran with first, which is only fitting, because it was me who she ran with first. Even though we are miles apart, with this blog I can still share everything I want to with my babies, my family and my friends.

See my new haircut!
